I looked through all of the ebuilds and I didnt seem to find any dependencies to tcsh. What gives!? I suppose I could as a workaround unmerge tcsh afterwards, but thats ugly!

DEPEND="${RDEPEND} >=dev-java/ant-1.5.3 >=sys-apps/findutils-4.1.7 >=app-shells/tcsh-6.11" That's the reason (copied from the eclipse-sdk-2.1.3-r1 ebuild)
I am very sorry. I thought I was installing eclipse-sdk-3.0_rc8, but because it is masked in package.mask it confused me. Thanks for the quick response!
